"Hold me up" Options

[aLIVEinNORWAY]

Chad Taylor:With our MCA/ Universal contract long behind us, +LIVE+ are permitted to rerecord any song under our considerable catalog. Yes, this would include rare gems such as “Hold Me Up.”

I don't want a new recording of "Hold me up"...I wan't the killer version we have heard...

I agree wholeheartedly. I want the original Throwing Copper magic. But despite years of pleas and endless bullshit, it doesn't look like anyone from the band cares.

Hey, remember recently when Chad T said the following on FB:

"I'm an expert at only one thing - music. What I can teach you is that listening is the single most important part of being a good musician."

Yeah, let's try that one more time:

I'm an expert at only one thing - music. What I can teach you is that ***LISTENING*** is the single most important part of being a good musician.

I believe that if CT owned the rights to the song, he'd release it as is. He has said before that the hold up with such releases is "in the hands of the lawyers" now. He's well aware the fans want to have it, but he can't get it released that easily. Hence why he mentioned rerecording it because that's one surefire way the song can see the light of day.

I think and hope one day the original will be released, but it's not so simple.
